There are only two callers of __alloc_pages() so prune the thicket of

callers of __alloc_pages() simply add an extra 'NULL' parameter and
current callers of __alloc_pages_nodemask() call __alloc_pages() instead.

Now, NUMA balancing can only optimize the page placement among the NUMA
nodes if the default memory policy is used. Because the memory policy
specified explicitly should take precedence. But this seems too strict in
some situations. For example, on a system with 4 NUMA nodes, if the
memory of an application is bound to the node 0 and 1, NUMA balancing can
potentially migrate the pages between the node 0 and 1 to reduce
cross-node accessing without breaking the explicit memory binding policy.
So in this patch, we add MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING mode flag to
set_mempolicy() when mode is MPOL_BIND. With the flag specified, NUMA
balancing will be enabled within the thread to optimize the page placement
within the constrains of the specified memory binding policy. With the
newly added flag, the NUMA balancing control mechanism becomes,
- sysctl knob numa_balancing can enable/disable the NUMA balancing
globally.
- even if sysctl numa_balancing is enabled, the NUMA balancing will be
disabled for the memory areas or applications with the explicit
memory policy by default.
- MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING can be used to enable the NUMA balancing for
the applications when specifying the explicit memory policy
(MPOL_BIND).
Various page placement optimization based on the NUMA balancing can be
done with these flags. As the first step, in this patch, if the memory of
the application is bound to multiple nodes (MPOL_BIND), and in the hint
page fault handler the accessing node are in the policy nodemask, the page
will be tried to be migrated to the accessing node to reduce the
cross-node accessing.
If the newly added MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING flag is specified by an
application on an old kernel version without its support, set_mempolicy()
will return -1 and errno will be set to EINVAL. The application can use
this behavior to run on both old and new kernel versions.
And if the MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING flag is specified for the mode other than
MPOL_BIND, set_mempolicy() will return -1 and errno will be set to EINVAL
as before. Because we don't support optimization based on the NUMA
balancing for these modes.
In the previous version of the patch, we tried to reuse MPOL_MF_LAZY for
mbind(). But that flag is tied to MPOL_MF_MOVE.*, so it seems not a good
API/ABI for the purpose of the patch.
And because it's not clear whether it's necessary to enable NUMA balancing
for a specific memory area inside an application, so we only add the flag
at the thread level (set_mempolicy()) instead of the memory area level
(mbind()). We can do that when it become necessary.
To test the patch, we run a test case as follows on a 4-node machine with
192 GB memory (48 GB per node).
1. Change pmbench memory accessing benchmark to call set_mempolicy()
to bind its memory to node 1 and 3 and enable NUMA balancing. Some
related code snippets are as follows,
#include <numaif.h>
#include <numa.h>
struct bitmask *bmp;
int ret;
bmp = numa_parse_nodestring("1,3");
ret = set_mempolicy(MPOL_BIND | MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING,
bmp->maskp, bmp->size + 1);
/* If MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING isn't supported, fall back to MPOL_BIND */
if (ret < 0 && errno == EINVAL)
ret = set_mempolicy(MPOL_BIND, bmp->maskp, bmp->size + 1);
if (ret < 0) {
perror("Failed to call set_mempolicy");
exit(-1);
}
2. Run a memory eater on node 3 to use 40 GB memory before running pmbench.
3. Run pmbench with 64 processes, the working-set size of each process
is 640 MB, so the total working-set size is 64 * 640 MB = 40 GB. The
CPU and the memory (as in step 1.) of all pmbench processes is bound
to node 1 and 3. So, after CPU usage is balanced, some pmbench
processes run on the CPUs of the node 3 will access the memory of
the node 1.
4. After the pmbench processes run for 100 seconds, kill the memory
eater. Now it's possible for some pmbench processes to migrate
their pages from node 1 to node 3 to reduce cross-node accessing.
Test results show that, with the patch, the pages can be migrated from
node 1 to node 3 after killing the memory eater, and the pmbench score
can increase about 17.5%.

When flags in queue_pages_pte_range don't have MPOL_MF_MOVE or
MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL bits, code breaks and passing origin pte - 1 to
pte_unmap_unlock seems like not a good idea.
queue_pages_pte_range can run in MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL mode which doesn't
migrate misplaced pages but returns with EIO when encountering such a
page. Since commit a7f40cfe3b ("mm: mempolicy: make mbind() return
-EIO when MPOL_MF_STRICT is specified") and early break on the first pte
in the range results in pte_unmap_unlock on an underflow pte. This can
lead to lockups later on when somebody tries to lock the pte resp.
page_table_lock again..

There is no difference between two migration callback functions,
alloc_huge_page_node() and alloc_huge_page_nodemask(), except
__GFP_THISNODE handling. It's redundant to have two almost similar
functions in order to handle this flag. So, this patch tries to remove
one by introducing a new argument, gfp_mask, to
alloc_huge_page_nodemask().
After introducing gfp_mask argument, it's caller's job to provide correct
gfp_mask. So, every callsites for alloc_huge_page_nodemask() are changed
to provide gfp_mask.
Note that it's safe to remove a node id check in alloc_huge_page_node()
since there is no caller passing NUMA_NO_NODE as a node id.

In the reservation routine, we only check whether the cpuset meets the
memory allocation requirements. But we ignore the mempolicy of MPOL_BIND
case. If someone mmap hugetlb succeeds, but the subsequent memory
allocation may fail due to mempolicy restrictions and receives the SIGBUS
signal. This can be reproduced by the follow steps.
1) Compile the test case.
cd tools/testing/selftests/vm/
gcc map_hugetlb.c -o map_hugetlb
2) Pre-allocate huge pages. Suppose there are 2 numa nodes in the
system. Each node will pre-allocate one huge page.
echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
3) Run test case(mmap 4MB). We receive the SIGBUS signal.
numactl --membind=3D0 ./map_hugetlb 4
With this patch applied, the mmap will fail in the step 3) and throw
"mmap: Cannot allocate memory".

This patch however doesn't go all the way to revert it because the check
for 0 is wrong and confusing here. Firstly it is inherently unsafe to
access the page when get_user_pages_locked returns 0 (aka no page

Fortunatelly this will not happen because get_user_pages_locked will not

lookup_node() uses gup to pin the page and get node information. It
checks against ret>=0 assuming the page will be filled in. However it's
also possible that gup will return zero, for example, when the thread is
quickly killed with a fatal signal. Teach lookup_node() to gracefully
return an error -EFAULT if it happens.
Meanwhile, initialize "page" to NULL to avoid potential risk of
exploiting the pointer.

change_protection() was used by either the NUMA or mprotect() code,
there's one parameter for each of the callers (dirty_accountable and
prot_numa). Further, these parameters are passed along the calls:
- change_protection_range()
- change_p4d_range()
- change_pud_range()
- change_pmd_range()
- ...
Now we introduce a flag for change_protect() and all these helpers to
replace these parameters. Then we can avoid passing multiple parameters
multiple times along the way.
More importantly, it'll greatly simplify the work if we want to introduce
any new parameters to change_protection(). In the follow up patches, a
new parameter for userfaultfd write protection will be introduced.
No functional change at all.

The option string that was used was: "mpol=prefer:,". However,
MPOL_PREFERRED requires a single node number, which is not being provided

vma_migratable() is called to check if pages in vma can be migrated before
go ahead to further actions. Currently it is used in below code path:
- task_numa_work
- mbind
- move_pages
For hugetlb mapping, whether vma is migratable or not is determined by:
- CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_HUGEPAGE_MIGRATION
- arch_hugetlb_migration_supported
Issue: current code only checks for CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_HUGEPAGE_MIGRATION
alone, and no code should use it directly. (note that current code in
vma_migratable don't cause failure or bug because
unmap_and_move_huge_page() will catch unsupported hugepage and handle it
properly)
This patch checks the two factors by hugepage_migration_supported for
impoving code logic and robustness. It will enable early bail out of
hugepage migration procedure, but because currently all architecture
supporting hugepage migration is able to support all page size, we would
not see performance gain with this patch applied.
vma_migratable() is moved to mm/mempolicy.c, because of the circular
reference of mempolicy.h and hugetlb.h cause defining it as inline not
feasible.

MPOL_MF_STRICT is used in mbind() for purposes:
(1) MPOL_MF_STRICT is set alone without MPOL_MF_MOVE or
MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL, to check if there is misplaced page and return -EIO;
(2) MPOL_MF_STRICT is set with MPOL_MF_MOVE or MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL, to
check if there is misplaced page which is failed to isolate, or page
is success on isolate but failed to move, and return -EIO.
For non hugepage mapping, (1) and (2) are implemented as expectation. For
hugepage mapping, (1) is not implemented. And in (2), the part about
failed to isolate and report -EIO is not implemented.
This patch implements the missed parts for hugepage mapping. Benefits
with it applied:
- User space can apply same code logic to handle mbind() on hugepage and
non hugepage mapping;
- Reliably using MPOL_MF_STRICT alone to check whether there is
misplaced page or not when bind policy on address range, especially for
address range which contains both hugepage and non hugepage mapping.
Analysis of potential impact to existing users:
- If MPOL_MF_STRICT alone was previously used, hugetlb pages not
following the memory policy would not cause an EIO error. After this
change, hugetlb pages are treated like all other pages. If
MPOL_MF_STRICT alone is used and hugetlb pages do not follow memory
policy an EIO error will be returned.
- For users who using MPOL_MF_STRICT with MPOL_MF_MOVE or
MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL, the semantic about some pages could not be moved will
not be changed by this patch, because failed to isolate and failed to
move have same effects to users, so their existing code will not be
impacted.
In mbind man page, the note about 'MPOL_MF_STRICT is ignored on huge page
mappings' can be removed after this patch is applied.
Mike:
: The current behavior with MPOL_MF_STRICT and hugetlb pages is inconsistent
: and does not match documentation (as described above). The special
: behavior for hugetlb pages ideally should have been removed when hugetlb
: page migration was introduced. It is unlikely that anyone relies on
: today's inconsistent behavior, and removing one more case of special

THP page faults now attempt a __GFP_THISNODE allocation first, which
should only compact existing free memory, followed by another attempt
that can allocate from any node using reclaim/compaction effort
specified by global defrag setting and madvise.
This patch makes the following changes to the scheme:
- Before the patch, the first allocation relies on a check for
pageblock order and __GFP_IO to prevent excessive reclaim. This
however affects also the second attempt, which is not limited to
single node.
Instead of that, reuse the existing check for costly order
__GFP_NORETRY allocations, and make sure the first THP attempt uses
__GFP_NORETRY. As a side-effect, all costly order __GFP_NORETRY
allocations will bail out if compaction needs reclaim, while
previously they only bailed out when compaction was deferred due to
previous failures.
This should be still acceptable within the __GFP_NORETRY semantics.
- Before the patch, the second allocation attempt (on all nodes) was
passing __GFP_NORETRY. This is redundant as the check for pageblock
order (discussed above) was stronger. It's also contrary to
madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) which means some effort to allocate THP is
requested.
After this patch, the second attempt doesn't pass __GFP_THISNODE nor
__GFP_NORETRY.
To sum up, THP page faults now try the following attempts:
1. local node only THP allocation with no reclaim, just compaction.
2. for madvised VMA's or when synchronous compaction is enabled always - THP
allocation from any node with effort determined by global defrag setting
and VMA madvise
3. fallback to base pages on any node

mbind() is required to report EFAULT if range, specified by addr and
len, contains unmapped holes. In current implementation, below rules
are applied for this checking:
1: Unmapped holes at any part of the specified range should be reported
as EFAULT if mbind() for none MPOL_DEFAULT cases;
2: Unmapped holes at any part of the specified range should be ignored
(do not reprot EFAULT) if mbind() for MPOL_DEFAULT case;
3: The whole range in an unmapped hole should be reported as EFAULT;
Note that rule 2 does not fullfill the mbind() API definition, but since
that behavior has existed for long days (the internal flag
MPOL_MF_DISCONTIG_OK is for this purpose), this patch does not plan to
change it.
In current code, application observed inconsistent behavior on rule 1
and rule 2 respectively. That inconsistency is fixed as below details.
Cases of rule 1:
- Hole at head side of range. Current code reprot EFAULT, no change by
this patch.
[ vma ][ hole ][ vma ]
[ range ]
- Hole at middle of range. Current code report EFAULT, no change by
this patch.
[ vma ][ hole ][ vma ]
[ range ]
- Hole at tail side of range. Current code do not report EFAULT, this
patch fixes it.
[ vma ][ hole ][ vma ]
[ range ]
Cases of rule 2:
- Hole at head side of range. Current code reports EFAULT, this patch
fixes it.
[ vma ][ hole ][ vma ]
[ range ]
- Hole at middle of range. Current code does not report EFAULT, no
change by this patch.
[ vma ][ hole ][ vma]
[ range ]
- Hole at tail side of range. Current code does not report EFAULT, no
change by this patch.
[ vma ][ hole ][ vma]
[ range ]
This patch has no changes to rule 3.
The unmapped hole checking can also be handled by using .pte_hole(),
instead of .test_walk(). But .pte_hole() is called for holes inside and
outside vma, which causes more cost, so this patch keeps the original
design with .test_walk().

Patch series "mm: Fix checking unmapped holes for mbind", v4.
This patchset fix checking unmapped holes for mbind().
First patch makes sure the vma been correctly tracked in .test_walk(),
so each time when .test_walk() is called, the neighborhood of two vma
is correct.
Current problem is that the !vma_migratable() check could cause return
immediately without update tracking to vma.
Second patch fix the inconsistent report of EFAULT when mbind() is
called for MPOL_DEFAULT and non MPOL_DEFAULT cases, so application do
not need to have workaround code to handle this special behavior.
Currently there are two problems, one is that the .test_walk() can not
know there is hole at tail side of range, because .test_walk() only
call for vma not for hole. The other one is that mbind_range() checks
for hole at head side of range but do not consider the
MPOL_MF_DISCONTIG_OK flag as done in .test_walk().
This patch (of 2):
Checking unmapped hole and updating the previous vma must be handled
first, otherwise the unmapped hole could be calculated from a wrong
previous vma.
Several commits were relevant to this error:
- commit 6f4576e368 ("mempolicy: apply page table walker on
queue_pages_range()")
This commit was correct, the VM_PFNMAP check was after updating
previous vma
- commit 48684a65b4 ("mm: pagewalk: fix misbehavior of
walk_page_range for vma(VM_PFNMAP)")
This commit added VM_PFNMAP check before updating previous vma. Then,
there were two VM_PFNMAP check did same thing twice.
- commit acda0c3340 ("mm/mempolicy.c: get rid of duplicated check for
vma(VM_PFNMAP) in queue_page s_range()")
This commit tried to fix the duplicated VM_PFNMAP check, but it
wrongly removed the one which was after updating vma.

Commit d883544515 ("mm: mempolicy: make the behavior consistent when
MPOL_MF_MOVE* and MPOL_MF_STRICT were specified") fixed the return value
of mbind() for a couple of corner cases. But, it altered the errno for
some other cases, for example, mbind() should return -EFAULT when part
or all of the memory range specified by nodemask and maxnode points
outside your accessible address space, or there was an unmapped hole in
the specified memory range specified by addr and len.
Fix this by preserving the errno returned by queue_pages_range(). And,
the pagelist may be not empty even though queue_pages_range() returns
error, put the pages back to LRU since mbind_range() is not called to
really apply the policy so those pages should not be migrated, this is
also the old behavior before the problematic commit.

Merge hugepage allocation updates from David Rientjes:
"We (mostly Linus, Andrea, and myself) have been discussing offlist how
to implement a sane default allocation strategy for hugepages on NUMA
platforms.
With these reverts in place, the page allocator will happily allocate
a remote hugepage immediately rather than try to make a local hugepage
available. This incurs a substantial performance degradation when
memory compaction would have otherwise made a local hugepage
available.
This series reverts those reverts and attempts to propose a more sane
default allocation strategy specifically for hugepages. Andrea
acknowledges this is likely to fix the swap storms that he originally
reported that resulted in the patches that removed __GFP_THISNODE from
hugepage allocations.
The immediate goal is to return 5.3 to the behavior the kernel has
implemented over the past several years so that remote hugepages are
not immediately allocated when local hugepages could have been made
available because the increased access latency is untenable.
The next goal is to introduce a sane default allocation strategy for
hugepages allocations in general regardless of the configuration of
the system so that we prevent thrashing of local memory when
compaction is unlikely to succeed and can prefer remote hugepages over
remote native pages when the local node is low on memory."
Note on timing: this reverts the hugepage VM behavior changes that got
introduced fairly late in the 5.3 cycle, and that fixed a huge
performance regression for certain loads that had been around since
4.18.
Andrea had this note:
"The regression of 4.18 was that it was taking hours to start a VM
where 3.10 was only taking a few seconds, I reported all the details
on lkml when it was finally tracked down in August 2018.
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20180820032640.9896-2-aarcange@redhat.com/
__GFP_THISNODE in MADV_HUGEPAGE made the above enterprise vfio
workload degrade like in the "current upstream" above. And it still
would have been that bad as above until 5.3-rc5"
where the bad behavior ends up happening as you fill up a local node,
and without that change, you'd get into the nasty swap storm behavior
due to compaction working overtime to make room for more memory on the
nodes.
As a result 5.3 got the two performance fix reverts in rc5.
However, David Rientjes then noted that those performance fixes in turn
regressed performance for other loads - although not quite to the same
degree. He suggested reverting the reverts and instead replacing them
with two small changes to how hugepage allocations are done (patch
descriptions rephrased by me):
- "avoid expensive reclaim when compaction may not succeed": just admit
that the allocation failed when you're trying to allocate a huge-page
and compaction wasn't successful.
- "allow hugepage fallback to remote nodes when madvised": when that
node-local huge-page allocation failed, retry without forcing the
local node.
but by then I judged it too late to replace the fixes for a 5.3 release.
So 5.3 was released with behavior that harked back to the pre-4.18 logic.
But now we're in the merge window for 5.4, and we can see if this
alternate model fixes not just the horrendous swap storm behavior, but
also restores the performance regression that the late reverts caused.
Fingers crossed.
* emailed patches from David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com>:

Revert "Revert "Revert "mm, thp: consolidate THP gfp handling into alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask""
Revert "Revert "mm, thp: restore node-local hugepage allocations""
For systems configured to always try hard to allocate transparent
hugepages (thp defrag setting of "always") or for memory that has been
explicitly madvised to MADV_HUGEPAGE, it is often better to fallback to
remote memory to allocate the hugepage if the local allocation fails
first.
The point is to allow the initial call to __alloc_pages_node() to attempt
to defragment local memory to make a hugepage available, if possible,
rather than immediately fallback to remote memory. Local hugepages will
always have a better access latency than remote (huge)pages, so an attempt
to make a hugepage available locally is always preferred.
If memory compaction cannot be successful locally, however, it is likely
better to fallback to remote memory. This could take on two forms: either
allow immediate fallback to remote memory or do per-zone watermark checks.
It would be possible to fallback only when per-zone watermarks fail for
order-0 memory, since that would require local reclaim for all subsequent
faults so remote huge allocation is likely better than thrashing the local
zone for large workloads.
In this case, it is assumed that because the system is configured to try
hard to allocate hugepages or the vma is advised to explicitly want to try
hard for hugepages that remote allocation is better when local allocation
and memory compaction have both failed.

This reverts commit 92717d429b.
Since commit a8282608c8 ("Revert "mm, thp: restore node-local hugepage
allocations"") is reverted in this series, it is better to restore the
previous 5.2 behavior between the thp allocation and the page allocator
rather than to attempt any consolidation or cleanup for a policy that is
now reverted. It's less risky during an rc cycle and subsequent patches
in this series further modify the same policy that the pre-5.3 behavior
implements.
Consolidation and cleanup can be done subsequent to a sane default page
allocation strategy, so this patch reverts a cleanup done on a strategy
that is now reverted and thus is the least risky option.

This reverts commit a8282608c8.
The commit references the original intended semantic for MADV_HUGEPAGE
which has subsequently taken on three unique purposes:
- enables or disables thp for a range of memory depending on the system's
config (is thp "enabled" set to "always" or "madvise"),
- determines the synchronous compaction behavior for thp allocations at
fault (is thp "defrag" set to "always", "defer+madvise", or "madvise"),
and
- reverts a previous MADV_NOHUGEPAGE (there is no madvise mode to only
clear previous hugepage advice).
These are the three purposes that currently exist in 5.2 and over the
past several years that userspace has been written around. Adding a
NUMA locality preference adds a fourth dimension to an already conflated
advice mode.
Based on the semantic that MADV_HUGEPAGE has provided over the past
several years, there exist workloads that use the tunable based on these
principles: specifically that the allocation should attempt to
defragment a local node before falling back. It is agreed that remote
hugepages typically (but not always) have a better access latency than
remote native pages, although on Naples this is at parity for
intersocket.
The revert commit that this patch reverts allows hugepage allocation to
immediately allocate remotely when local memory is fragmented. This is
contrary to the semantic of MADV_HUGEPAGE over the past several years:
that is, memory compaction should be attempted locally before falling
back.
The performance degradation of remote hugepages over local hugepages on
Rome, for example, is 53.5% increased access latency. For this reason,
the goal is to revert back to the 5.2 and previous behavior that would
attempt local defragmentation before falling back. With the patch that
is reverted by this patch, we see performance degradations at the tail
because the allocator happily allocates the remote hugepage rather than
even attempting to make a local hugepage available.
zone_reclaim_mode is not a solution to this problem since it does not
only impact hugepage allocations but rather changes the memory
allocation strategy for *all* page allocations.

This patch is a part of a series that extends kernel ABI to allow to pass
tagged user pointers (with the top byte set to something else other than
0x00) as syscall arguments.
This patch allows tagged pointers to be passed to the following memory
syscalls: get_mempolicy, madvise, mbind, mincore, mlock, mlock2, mprotect,
mremap, msync, munlock, move_pages.
The mmap and mremap syscalls do not currently accept tagged addresses.
Architectures may interpret the tag as a background colour for the
corresponding vma.

This reverts commit 2f0799a0ff ("mm, thp: restore node-local
hugepage allocations").
commit 2f0799a0ff was rightfully applied to avoid the risk of a
severe regression that was reported by the kernel test robot at the end
of the merge window. Now we understood the regression was a false
positive and was caused by a significant increase in fairness during a
swap trashing benchmark. So it's safe to re-apply the fix and continue
improving the code from there. The benchmark that reported the
regression is very useful, but it provides a meaningful result only when
there is no significant alteration in fairness during the workload. The
removal of __GFP_THISNODE increased fairness.
__GFP_THISNODE cannot be used in the generic page faults path for new
memory allocations under the MPOL_DEFAULT mempolicy, or the allocation
behavior significantly deviates from what the MPOL_DEFAULT semantics are
supposed to be for THP and 4k allocations alike.
Setting THP defrag to "always" or using MADV_HUGEPAGE (with THP defrag
set to "madvise") has never meant to provide an implicit MPOL_BIND on
the "current" node the task is running on, causing swap storms and
providing a much more aggressive behavior than even zone_reclaim_node =
3.
Any workload who could have benefited from __GFP_THISNODE has now to
enable zone_reclaim_mode=1||2||3. __GFP_THISNODE implicitly provided
the zone_reclaim_mode behavior, but it only did so if THP was enabled:
if THP was disabled, there would have been no chance to get any 4k page
from the current node if the current node was full of pagecache, which
further shows how this __GFP_THISNODE was misplaced in MADV_HUGEPAGE.
MADV_HUGEPAGE has never been intended to provide any zone_reclaim_mode
semantics, in fact the two are orthogonal, zone_reclaim_mode = 1|2|3
must work exactly the same with MADV_HUGEPAGE set or not.
The performance characteristic of memory depends on the hardware
details. The numbers below are obtained on Naples/EPYC architecture and
the N/A projection extends them to show what we should aim for in the
future as a good THP NUMA locality default. The benchmark used
exercises random memory seeks (note: the cost of the page faults is not
part of the measurement).
D0 THP | D0 4k | D1 THP | D1 4k | D2 THP | D2 4k | D3 THP | D3 4k | ...
0% | +43% | +45% | +106% | +131% | +224% | N/A | N/A
D0 means distance zero (i.e. local memory), D1 means distance one (i.e.
intra socket memory), D2 means distance two (i.e. inter socket memory),
etc...
For the guest physical memory allocated by qemu and for guest mode
kernel the performance characteristic of RAM is more complex and an
ideal default could be:
D0 THP | D1 THP | D0 4k | D2 THP | D1 4k | D3 THP | D2 4k | D3 4k | ...
0% | +58% | +101% | N/A | +222% | N/A | N/A | N/A
NOTE: the N/A are projections and haven't been measured yet, the
measurement in this case is done on a 1950x with only two NUMA nodes.
The THP case here means THP was used both in the host and in the guest.
After applying this commit the THP NUMA locality order that we'll get
out of MADV_HUGEPAGE is this:
D0 THP | D1 THP | D2 THP | D3 THP | ... | D0 4k | D1 4k | D2 4k | D3 4k | ...
Before this commit it was:
D0 THP | D0 4k | D1 4k | D2 4k | D3 4k | ...
Even if we ignore the breakage of large workloads that can't fit in a
single node that the __GFP_THISNODE implicit "current node" mbind
caused, the THP NUMA locality order provided by __GFP_THISNODE was still
not the one we shall aim for in the long term (i.e. the first one at
the top).
After this commit is applied, we can introduce a new allocator multi
order API and to replace those two alloc_pages_vmas calls in the page
fault path, with a single multi order call:
unsigned int order = (1 << HPAGE_PMD_ORDER) | (1 << 0);
page = alloc_pages_multi_order(..., &order);
if (!page)
goto out;
if (!(order & (1 << 0))) {
VM_WARN_ON(order != 1 << HPAGE_PMD_ORDER);
/* THP fault */
} else {
VM_WARN_ON(order != 1 << 0);
/* 4k fallback */
}
The page allocator logic has to be altered so that when it fails on any
zone with order 9, it has to try again with a order 0 before falling
back to the next zone in the zonelist.
After that we need to do more measurements and evaluate if adding an
opt-in feature for guest mode is worth it, to swap "DN 4k | DN+1 THP"
with "DN+1 THP | DN 4k" at every NUMA distance crossing.
